I you are using binary modules supplied by ivtv, then they will work best with the kernel they were compiled for. They _might_ work with later kernels. The kernel developers really dislike binary modules since they tend to break things in unpredictable ways - this is even more of a problem if the kernel release has changed since inter module dependencies _will_ change. Have you tried the video4linux module? If it works with your ivtv stuff its probably your best bet. Ed Tomlinson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
